Europe - Dreamer

Europe, the Swedish hard rock band that did a warm up gig for Kiss this weekend. As usual Europe is a solid live band no doubt about that, they always deliver a good show and so they did again, have seen them many times before and this was a pretty good performance. A big thrill for them i guess to play for almost 35 thousand peoples and many of the fans who was there just wanted to see Europe and nothing else.

Todays tune "Dreamer" is a real classic one, was released as a single back in 1984. It was the second single from the Wings of Tomorrow album. The single was only released in Japan. It bears a strong resemblance to the hit single Carrie that was released two years later. The song is referenced in the song "Time Has Come" off the band's next album in the lyric "Pray for the dreamer/He's still so sad." In 1993 the song was included on their greatest hits compilation 1982-1992. In 2008 the song was played at the Almost Unplugged album.

Here is a clip from the Unplugged show at Nalen, Jan, 2008
